FollowBot is coded to be able to run multiple instances of POE on a single Machine. Just start up the instances of POE side-by-side and the application will automatically detect the different instances of POE running.
However, if you want to be as safe as possible, I would recommend setting up a few Virtual Machines. VMWare is what I typically use, but there's also a program that's shipped natively with Windows 11 Pro called Hyper-V that can setup Virtual Machines as well. I would recommend giving each VM at least 2 cores and 8GB of ram.
I can also Highly recommend using a program called "poeNullEffects" thanks to a subscriber. It will massively increase the performance of POE and that can be very important inside a Virtual Machine. You would need to get the full version to get the most out of it, and disable all effects and environments.
Then, setup a VPN inside each Virtual Machine as well so that each machine looks like its coming from a different IP address.
If you need any additional help setting these things up, please let us know!
